the shrewdness of apes

anything but sitting at a desk will be fine

presenting t.s.o.a.'s cultural calendar:

get your lungs into shape: the annual Big Balloon Inflation for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is coming. (a quick aside from the description of the Ballon tour: "As an added convenience to families visiting the newly inflated balloons, Charmin Ultra® will provide the most fabulous public facilities on the Upper West Side. Located on the southwest corner of 77th Street and Columbus Avenue, these luxurious loos on wheels have all of the comforts of home, including hardwood floors, wallpaper and fully functional sinks." sounds like a good reason to hold it all day.) this year's lineup of lovable characters includes not only icons such as Charlie Brown and Mr. Monopoly (nee Rich Uncle Pennybags) but also corporate shills Jeeves and Cheesasaurus Rex.

dust off the ice skates: Kate Wollman Rink in Prospect Park opens November 17.

like opening grandpa's trunk in the attic: Looking at LIFE photography exhibit at the International Center of Photography (through November 28 - also featuring photos from Abu Ghraib and JFK's 1960 Presidential campaign).

it's not a sport if you can drink while playing: beer and bocce at Floyd, NY.
